plate.
Season chicken breasts with 1/2 ts salt and 1/4 ts pepper. Add to
skillet with bacon grease; cook 4 to 5 minutes per side or until
chicken is golden brown on the edges and cooked through. Remove to

In the same skillet, add garlic, cook one minute longer. Add
reserved 1-1/2 cups pasta water; bring to a simmer. Add spaghetti,

1/2 cup grated cheese. Top with additional freshly ground black
pepper, if desired.
